The first day of the course week with Paul C and JB went well,
with all the course members getting plenty of flying and learning how to
retrieve cables, gliders and carry out the general launch point tasks.
The course helpers, William, Les the Winch and Dave A
ensured that everything ran with the utmost efficiency. The star of the
day was definitely the youngest course member, 15 year old Nicola, who
by her fifth flight was doing all the flying from the top of the launch
to the start of the approach, including S turns on the ridge, some
thermal soaring and mastering the trimmer!
We flew on 'til 18:15 to take advantage of the nice weather and everyone went home happy. - jb
